Chapter 518: Chapter 518 What on earth do you think about all day? Chapter 518: Chapter 518 What on earth do you think about all day? This remark was overheard by Yao Chengxuan, who had just entered the yard. After propping up his bicycle, he asked, “Shuangshuang, is what you said true?”
Yao Shuangshuang replied, “A classmate told me, her sister and Sister Luo Qiao are in the same school.”
Yao Chengxuan was genuinely happy for Luo Qiao but thought since she had last given away a permanent job position, she had not visited their home again. He understood that it was his eldest daughter who had deeply offended her and that his family had let Luo Qiao down.
Feeling dispirited, he said softly, “Pei Ling, cook a couple of dishes, I’ll have a drink at lunch to celebrate for Luo Qiao.”
At this moment, Yao Lili emerged from the house and said, “Dad, even if she did well on her exam, it’s not related to us. She’s still ungrateful. Celebrate what? Why are you even happy?”
Yao Chengxuan was now utterly disappointed with his elder daughter, “Shut up. Who’s the ungrateful one here? Can’t you ever say something decent for once? If you say such things, just look at who will become the laughingstock of this courtyard?”
Yao Lili retorted, “I didn’t say anything wrong. Since her last visit, how long has it been since Luo Qiao came to our house? It’s because she’s doing well now, she just kicked us aside.”
Yao Chengxuan said, “Yao Lili, what on earth do you think about all day? Wasn’t it you who wanted to settle accounts with her, wasn’t it you who turned her away? Don’t you feel shame talking like this?”
Yao Lili wouldn’t admit it, but she did regret not being more lenient with her calculations before. If she hadn’t been so, she could’ve benefited now. Hearing about the rewards for placing in competitions made her feel the sting of loss.
Yao Lili continued, “Back then, I didn’t know her biological parents were so powerful, nor that she would one day be so accomplished. Besides, I did it for the sake of our whole family.”
Yao Shuangshuang said, “Big sister, you’re really scary. You mean if you had known Sister Luo Qiao’s biological parents were in Capital City and were officials, you wouldn’t have been so calculative and would’ve shamelessly clung to them, right?”
Yao Lili, glaring at her sister, said, “Yao Shuangshuang, am I your sister, or is Luo Qiao your sister? Why do you speak to me like this?”
Yao Shuangshuang didn’t care about what she said, “How could I have a sister like you?”
Having said that, she turned and went inside the house, shutting the door behind her.
Luo Qiao was packing her things to go to Capital City with other finalists. Lu Yichen’s look of silent reproach made Luo Qiao laugh, and she said, “When will you get your transfer order?”
Lu Yichen replied, “After New Year’s Day, I guess.”
Luo Qiao nodded, “Next semester, let Stone transfer to a school in Capital City. He can stay with my grandparents or my dad. They’re not far from the school.”
Lu Yichen looked at Luo Qiao, “You don’t have to worry about this. I’ve spoken to Grandpa; he’ll come back with me to Capital City and stay with him. It’ll be good company for him too.”
Luo Qiao pursed her lips in thought, then looked up at Lu Yichen, “What does Stone think about it? It’s not much longer until New Year’s Day, and it’s close to the end of the semester. If he transfers in the middle, I’m worried he might not adjust well.”
Lu Yichen said, “I’ve talked to him about it once. He said it doesn’t matter where he goes to school, but he would miss his friends.”
Luo Qiao suggested, “Let’s have him finish this semester here before transferring. Getting used to a new environment always takes time, and we don’t want it to affect his studies. Don’t worry, when the time comes, I’ll be in Ji City to accompany him, or I can ask him to stay with Yin Dong if I’m busy. Anyway, I won’t let him be without care.”
Lu Yichen nodded and gently stroked Luo Qiao’s hair, “We’ll let Stone decide. I’ll take care of the transfer procedures in advance.”
Since their previous heart-to-heart, the two of them got along even better.
Lu Yichen, looking at the packed luggage, said, “I’ll take you to the train station tomorrow morning.”
Luo Qiao laughed, “You don’t need to. We’ll gather at the school first, and then go to the train station together. It’ll waste your time, and I don’t want to cause you any trouble because of me.”
His words warmed Lu Yichen’s heart, but he pinched Luo Qiao’s nose and said, “Don’t worry, they probably won’t have the time to bother about me, right?”
